I thought I'd seen you round before Then you came knocking on my door You were only 16 years And yet you took away all of my fears I held your hand and then I knew I was the one and only one for you We were married at 21 Expecting any day our first born son Yeah yeah yeah And that sugar and spice Everything was so nice Now it's all come undone Has it's course just been run We bought a flat in Golders Green A second hand fridge and a washing machine You found a job in Marks and Spencers Filling shelves sure it was pretty senseless But every day at a half past five I'd be waiting at the station for you to arrive I'd take your hand and walk you home And if it rained we'd shelter in the Hippodrome Yeah yeah yeah And that sugar and spice Everything was so nice Now it's just not the same It's bitterness and pain Oh it's over my head And far too much has been said Tell me what has become You were my number one Oooooh That sugar and spice Everything nice Or just castles of sand And very thin ice.
